I am pleased to support Todd Johnson's candidacy for re-election to the Tewksbury Board of Selectmen.

As a former legislative aide, I have paid close attention to how Todd carries out his responsibilities as a selectman. I strongly believe that he has the experience, common sense and talent necessary to represent all the constituencies in our town as he approaches decisions that challenge the Board of Selectmen.

In particular, I have observed Todd's demeanor and ability to bring people together to compromise on sensitive issues. He is a clear thinker, straight talker and effective problem- solver.

During Todd's time as chair of the Finance Committee, he became intimately familiar with the budget needs, issues, and operations of the town's various departments, including schools, public safety, public works, library, and senior center.

This critical experience provides him with a broad vision of our community needs that will be vital as we face the challenges of financial decisions in the future.

Todd also shares a commitment to public service and community caring that shows through his years as president and director of the Tewksbury Community Pantry.

Through my personal involvement with the establishment of our 9-11 Memorial and as an advocate for the Salvation Army, I can attest to the time, effort and selflessness that his service to our community reflects.

I have no doubt that Todd will continue to be a strong member of the Board of Selectmen and urge you to re-elect him on April 6.
